Bye Bye Pride

A white moon appears like a hole in the sky
The mangroves go quiet
In La Brisa de la Palma
A teenage Rasputin takes the sting from a gin
"When a woman learns to walk, she's not dependent anymore."
A line front her letter - May 24
And out on the bay, the current is strong
A boat can go lost

But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom

'Til you take your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide

Turned the fan off
And went for a walk by the lights down on Shield Street
The birds in the trees open their wings
He goes home again
He dreams resistance, they talk commitment
Things change over long distance
Took the shirt off his back, the eyes from his head
And left him for dead

But I didn't know someone could be so lonesome
Didn't know a heart could be tied up and held for ransom

'Til you take your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide

Little lies, they'll take your pride
Little lies, they'll take your pride

'Til you take your shoes and go outside
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
'Cause the door is open wide
Stride over stride
Walk to that tide
Bye, bye pride
'Cause the door is open wide
The door is always open wide
The door is always open wide
